"It’s not indecision; it’s structured hesitation"

My readers may already be primed to accept this concept - after all, I've written a fair few articles where I have noted that "it's OK to be undecided".

Martin Geddes takes it to a more academic level with the concept of "plausible neutrality", and frankly, with all the stuff with which we are assaulted in the media these days, it's an essential concept both to grasp and to respect.

One might call it hesitation with a purpose. Once seen, remembered for when it may require more objective evaluation in the light of new information.

"In fifth-generation warfare, this becomes a survival tactic" - Quite so.

There is more. See how many points you can score as already

Maybe the current US regime (USA Inc) really has at long last run out of money. Maybe even Israel is in much the same boat.

Whether the regime is fake, or whether Trump is playing so may double games with everybody, is probably not going to make any material difference at this stage - when the money runs out, the money runs out.

If we've been following Clif High, now is the time to start manifesting the world that we really want, and we can leave the Universe to work out how to do it!

Whether or not we follow Clif, maybe start to improve community cohesion locally. When the money runs out we will be in a different world... and we will be stronger working together than competing over scarcities.

"The more chaos, the better his odds..."

Is the new ruckus between China and Trump a sign of what is going on in Chinese leadership circles?

If your enemies are in the ascendant, bowl them a googly for which they are unprepared... and the 4th Plenum is critical.

Xi JinPing may not be done quite yet, and Trump now has a big paddle with which to stir the troubled waters. Will he use it? Silly question!

Alert readers may notice the additional quote in our site masthead!

Clif High is an extraordinary polymath of vast learning and exceptional life experience. Following his teachings is also an exceptional experience, by which perhaps many may be unpersuaded, but which I find logically compelling as his notions fit in well with my intuitive (yet not so far very practical!) understanding of how this universe works.

The critical question (which perhaps Science as we know it gets backwards) is:

"Which acts as foundation for the other: consciousness or 3-dimensional matter?"

You may agree I think that the question is fundamental!

If consciousness is the foundation of matter, then it follows that if we wish to understand matter then we must first understand consciousness, whereas if somehow consciousness arises from matter then we must first understand the material

The country has always run on lawful consent.

No consent, no obligation.

But did we not consent to Parliament doing as it wanted when we participated at the last election?

Well, there's the rub. The nub of the problem.

We as a population may have expressed a wish (assuming that the election result wasn't fiddled, as it now appears the US elections were at times fiddled), but how to refute UN-WEF policies when all major parties support the same? It would require a monumental public awakening to get everyone to spoil their ballot and declare "None of these thank you".

So such "consent" is at best dodgy, and in practice impractical. And even if we may be presumed to vote on the basis of politicians pre-election promises and manifestos, we all know how well carried through those promises turn out to be post-election.

And where will the US stand in such an event?

Well, if the EU is truly intent on picking a fight with its easterly neighbour, what is the US supposed to do about it?

If you're a general or maybe a politician, established habits of geopolitics and warfare die hard, and any incoming alien group (unless it arrives uninvited in small inflatables from mid-Channel) will likely be taken as a hostile force and met with military action. To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

But maybe this doesn't present the best way to interact with "aliens" that come our way.

For a start, whencever they come from, their technology is likely to be vastly more developed than ours, so they will assuredly have sent their scouts in advance, and will know to bring some primitive inflatables with them on a calm day. If they are friendly.

If not, we will have no answers should they decide to rumble us. Our best course therefore is likely to be to hold the military, offer respectful friendliness, and to try to learn as much as possible from them in

"Zionism" goes back a long way.

It has spread its factions all across Europe, Russia, the UK, and America, and (for all I know) almost everywhere else.

But what is it? Where did it come from, how did it prove so resilient that it now seems de facto to rule much of the world?

Why did we in England have a big hand in creating the State of Israel, and therefore everything else that flowed from that decision? No doubt the effects of WW2 on the Empire had something to do with it, but Zionists didn't waste much time in encouraging the British to leave by bombing the King David Hotel, in the lead up to the establishment of the State of Israel two years later. 

But perhaps we just

The only item missing this week is the eponymous prophet of doom walking up and down the High Street with his "The End is Nigh" message held defiantly aloft.

Instead we have an additional announcement under "Breaking News: "The Gaza and Ukraine wars are to be ended immediately"

OK, but how is all that going to be achieved all of a sudden?

Who is Trump? What is he? For whom does he work? 

What are the military and secret services up to now?

The natives are growing restless - and the Czech Republic has elected a dreadful populist...

and of course basket case France has lost another Prime Minister ..

The EU already has recalcitrant Hungary and Slovakia on its hands, so news that another dreadful populist has won a national election (isn't that what elections are for?!), in the Czech Republic, has them scrambling.

Some might unkindly suggest that their thinking is scrambled already, but in that case another election may not make all that much difference.

No, not demos in the UK nor even the EU, this is about China.

According to Victor Orban, the EU is now pushing for a war footing against Russia. Hungary under Mr Orban is concerned that

"Europe is signing on to a climate of "endless war"..."

Mr Orban would like the EU to negotiate a long term Security Agreement with Russia, since war is not in their interests.

How sensible, how quaint, and how impossible for the EU leadership to contemplate.
